[Jankovoy] took [the photo] in Annapurna, a region of Nepal that has been uplifted as a whole piece (called a massif) and reaches elevations of over 8000 meters...At 8000 meters, the pressure drops to just 1/3 of that at sea level, and the air is so thin it's difficult to imagine actually hiking there. But clearly, people do.

And judging from Anton's photo, it may very well be worth the trouble of visiting. What must it be like to stand in that spot and see first hand such astronomical and geological magnificence?
